OatmealDome goes on to explain how there was a certain patch being &#8220;shared around&#8221; that allowed players to enter the testing range early in this weekend&#8217;s Splatfest demo, which has <em>probably<\/em> resulted in bans.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"object object-tweet\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p><span lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">One particular patch that was being shared around lets you enter the testing range early.
